"Hard work does not always guarantee success, but it does always put you in the position to excel. August has been a good month on the diamond for former Texas A&M baseball standout Braden Montgomery. On Tuesday, the White Sox organization named the Double-A Birmingham outfielder as their Minor League Player of the Month for August. Montgomery has been tearing it up since being moved up at the beginning of August, becoming a doubles machine and flashing his glove in the outfield."
""That experience alone -- three levels, producing at each one -- you can nitpick going through, but this is a really productive player who's going to make adjustments. And we're going to see those three skills: obviously, damage is one, but the contact is going to improve, really good swing decisions. He's going to be one that's going to be really fun to watch.""
Braden Montgomery earned White Sox Double-A Birmingham Minor League Player of the Month honors for August after a promotion at the beginning of the month. He turned into a doubles machine while showing strong defensive plays in the outfield and improving performance from both sides of the plate. An early-career injury delayed his start, but sustained production across three minor-league levels demonstrates adjustment ability and growing contact and swing decision skills. White Sox hitting director Ryan Fuller praised his production and adaptability. Montgomery received an Arizona Fall League assignment running October 6 through a November 15 championship, increasing visibility for a potential 2026 call-up.
